Lakefest Drag Boat Racing

This 24th-annual event transforms Lake Marble Falls into a liquid quarter-mile "racetrack" and the banks of the lake into a wild three-day boat race party. Approximately 100 boats hit the water for Test and Tune on Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Qualifying races are Saturday, and the racing finals start at 11 a.m. Sunday with boats topping 260 mph on Lake Marble Falls. Visitors also enjoy top fuelers "firing up" with a bang on Friday evening, live concerts Friday and Saturday, see boats up close, meet the drivers, enjoy live music, and browse the food and craft booths.
